Distribution

The distribution map is currently disabled. A new map solution will soon become available. In the meantime, please consult other species distribution map providers listed in the Other resources panel below.

EU conservation status

Conservation status assesses every six years and for each biogeographical region the condition of habitats and species compared to the favourable status as described in the Habitats Directive. The map shows the 2013 assessments.

Favourable: A species is in a situation where it is prospering and with good prospects to do so in the future as well

Unfavourable-Inadequate: A species is in a situation where a change in management or policy is required to return the species to favourable status but there is no danger of extinction in the foreseeable future

Unfavourable-Bad: A species is in serious danger of becoming extinct (at least regionally)

Unknown: There is insufficient information available to allow an assessment

External data
